Quinoa Salad

If I were a vegetarian, which would mean that hell had frozen over, I would eat this every day.

Quinoa is native to South America but has become wildly popular worldwide, especially with health nuts and vegetarians, because it has about 9x the protein, and far less carbohydrates, than other grains. The grain is small and round, and when cooked the germ unwinds and looks like a “tail”. This tail remains slightly al dente, which gives quinoa a bit of a bite. Still, don’t overcook it or it will eventually turn to mush.
